Cato-Meridian school district hashes out budget, scope of potential capital project

The specifics of the Cato-Meridian School District’s possible capital project are becoming clearer.

The larger details of the project were discussed at a school board meeting Sept. 26. District Superintendent Noel Patterson said the project is currently set for a $5,470,000 budget. The project was also discussed at a board meeting earlier that month.

A board decision on whether to hold a public referendum for the project is set for the next meeting Oct. 16. If it passes, taxpayers would be able to vote on the project Dec. 12.
